This was my Senior Drill at Ft. Leonard Wood in the early 80’s.
SFC Brian Boaz. He had been a Green Beret in Vietnam and was as tough a man as I’ve ever known. I have tried to find out how he is for decades,even now,I can find almost nothing. He had a massive impact on me as a young man and soldier. While in Boot camp & AIT my mother was hospitalized with terminal cancer. He got the call and called me to his office. A frightening experience getting called to his office I can tell you. He told me to sit and explained to me the situation with my mother. He then told me I could be released from the Army and go home or he hoped I would remain and finish my training then go home to see her. He told me I had the makings of a good soldier. I stayed. From that point I was allowed to call the hospital from his office every few days to check on her. During a training exercise we were doing an obstacle course with weapons. He showed us all kinds of crazy stuff on the elevated rope. That day we had a guy fall from it and land on his back. He made a terrible noise and said he could not feel his legs. SFC Boaz was right there with him encouraging him,not something he did usually,until the medics got to him. As they moved him there was an audible noise and he said he could feel his legs all of the sudden.SFC Boaz turned away from all of us and you could tell he felt emotional about it. He commanded respect and got it,not just from his soldiers but the other DI’s as well. I think he was from Texas,of any of you know him or about him,please dm me,I’d like to know what happened to him. He was the first man from Special Forces I ever met,he definitely made an impression on me.

Xavier Becerra has finally found a cause worth fighting for: the DMV.
Don’t worry, we're still shutting it down and capping vehicle registration at $73!

NYC having a Muslim mayor on the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 is an absolute disgrace and a spit in the face to every victim. Every single New Yorker should be ashamed

The demons are getting bad
The VA has repeatedly failed me
I can’t afford private insurance
Medicaid denied me
I have 5 degenerative back diseases
COPD is getting bad
I’m months behind on bills
My identity was stolen
Quality of life is zero
It’s all making me feel hopeless
I need to catch a break soon
Anyone know of any financial resources to help veterans catch up on life by chance?
Do I know anyone really into home gyms that can school me?
I have an empty garage and the interest in canceling my gym membership.
Currently thinking of free weights, a bench, and pull up bar. I know nothing about quality of brands, what I’m missing, what would make this actually useful, etc.
Please flex (pun intended) your knowledge on me. First time trying to get back into it since I got sick in 2024 and lost 40 pounds.

For 47 years, American families and brave warfighters - including friends of mine - have been asked to absorb brutal attack after brutal attack by an evil Iranian regime who wants all of us dead.
President Trump is the only president in my lifetime who refuses to kick this problem to another generation of American soldiers. There can be no equivocation with these murderous lunatics. It’s time to finish the job.

Listen to it all.
Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) delivers an incredibly powerful speech about Iran.
Watch every second of this.
"Yesterday we saw the president of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served, and that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone.
That process happens beginning in the war zone through Dover to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I participated in many of those ceremonies myself to include carrying friends of mine off the plane.
One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian EFP.
This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. And they don't just say it, they actually do it, and they've been doing it for forty-seven years.
This is a war of choice. The Democrats are correct. It's a war of choice that was begun by a radical lunatic band of terrorists that took over a beautiful nation 47 years ago, took it over with brutality, force, and savagery. And the second they took it over, they didn't free their people, they didn't unleash the largest oil reserves in the world to build schools and bridges.
They took it over to murder their own people and to spread their disgusting ideology across the world, and that is exactly what they have been doing. They don't just say it and talk about it. You don't have to believe what they say. You can simply watch what they've done.
They have attacked families, women, children, innocent people. They don't just attack them and kill them, they rape them. They skin them alive on camera. They celebrate it. They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country, and they do it for fun, and they pay them money to do it, and they're heroes to that nation.
They've done it to friends of mine. They've done it to families who've been in this chamber. And the fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead. They want all of you dead. They want all of us dead.
They don't want us to disappear with a snap of a finger. They want us to be raped, burned alive, and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7. That's what they want to happen from Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami. They want this country turned into a burning husk of its former self, and you don't have to theorize that.
That's what they do. From the 1983 barracks bombing, where 280 Marines were vaporized in a morning, from USS Cole to the Achille Lauro, to every terrorist attack, from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas. These are not humanitarian freedom organizations. They are death-dealing cults, and they want all of us to die brutal deaths.
William Buckley was abducted in 1985, an American military officer. He was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war who were captured. They were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists, so they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered, power drills through their brains. This is in Iraq. These are families that have dealt with this, and they've never gotten a single dime.
These families have never gotten restitution, and not a single president has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him, love his policies, hate ICE, love ICE, whatever. There's never been a single president who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attack after attack after attack all over the world.
And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It's a global radical ideology, and we've been fighting it for half a century.
We didn't start this war. We did not, but we will finish it. And forever wars are not popular with anybody these days. Both sides of the love to attack our forever wars. And I can promise you, being someone overseas wearing the uniform, when you're fighting for your country, you don't care what party's in office, but you're fighting to defend your country, and you turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you're failing, that you've failed every goal of the war, is what I just heard.
Last time I checked, we've wiped these bastards out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the straits, that's not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation in collapse because they deserve it. So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle, whatever's politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook, think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon, who have volunteered to defend our country and our way of life.
Because they are there defending us in a just war, because we did not start a war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started it with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It's time to fix this problem and make sure another generations of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary."

The Media Only Loves Us When We’re Dead: Part II
I’m not done with this "reporter" yet. And I won’t stay silent while the media drags warfighters who bled for this nation and are now trying to make it better.
I’ll be honest, I’m ashamed I didn’t look deeper into the story of @SeanParnellUSA sooner. The GWOT cuts too close to my own scars, so I looked away from the broader history. But not anymore.
Media scrutiny isn’t new. Even George Washington was mocked in print. But the latest attacks on Sean Parnell say far more about the press than they do about him.
So pause and remember where you were on June 10, 2006.
1. The most popular song was Hips Don’t Lie.
2. The top movie was Cars.
3. And Sean Parnell was leading 39 men through a mountain ambush by over 250 enemy fighters. He was wounded three times, and stayed in the fight. By the end of that deployment, 85% of his platoon had been wounded.
Funny how you only get one Purple Heart for taking three hits in one battle, but a thousand paper cuts from the press for doing nothing wrong.
So let me get this straight: guys like him are good enough to fight your wars, bury their friends, and carry the silence of it all for the rest of their lives, but not good enough to help fix the institutions that failed them?
Who better than them?
You think you're criticizing one man. But behind every name you recognize is a platoon’s worth of warriors you never will. Quiet. Steady. Carrying the same resolve that got them all home. And whether you realize it or not, the hopes of a generation of warfighters rest quietly on his and @PeteHegseth's shoulders.
You forget: the fire that forged these men didn’t burn them up, it tempered them. And here’s the part you never seem to learn:
If you keep mocking the warriors who came home and tried to lead, don’t act surprised when fewer of them show up next time. Why would they?
Or maybe that’s the media's goal? But it won't work.
Because in this country, it seems the only time the media honors them... is when they’re coming home in a box draped in the American Flag.
***Please share this widely to counter the harmful "media" narratives that exist to malign warfighters who bled in battle and are trying to make a difference.***
NEW: Trump Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, who has only done one briefing, has been participating in introductory “DOD 101” courses to get up to speed on the DOD’s priorities, four people familiar with the matter told me, @JackDetsch and @paulmcleary. politico.com/newsletters/nat…

“I'm gonna dox myself because I'm moving, but I've lived near Meridian Hill Park in D.C. for almost two years now and the water's never been in the pond there. This has never happened before. I was always too afraid to come here because of the homeless people but they're all gone and it seriously looks like Paris.
I mean, I've never seen this many people out here. I mean, look, everyone is enjoying it. Everybody.
A year ago, Trump said he was gonna clean up D.C. and he did. It is clean, it's calm, it's quiet except for the Chipotle down in Navy Yard apparently this weekend, but I wasn't there for that. The homeless are out, the birds are chirping, the water is in, the ponds, the fountains are working.
Thank you, Mr. President. This is the benefit of having a construction man as your president.”

Well, we aren’t even halfway through 2026 and we have:
a Nazi running for democrats up north,
the SPLC, a far left organization full of mostly black people, funding the KKK and other racists,
Tucker lying and denying a clip of himself saying Trump is the antichrist even after being shown that he said it,
Shawn Ryan glizzing fat Cenk like his life depends on Muslim peen,
Candace Owens juggling multiple lawsuits and no Jewish attorneys to represent her,
Nick Fuentes tired of politics because the closet is getting smaller and everyone knows he’s paid to act like a white racist, but really he’s just a little gay Mexican,
Dave Smith realizing that the Jew haters will turn on Kapos as well,
the Pope saying woke and socialist things,
the SCOTUS stopping democrats from being racist… again,
a 20ish year old kid and his mom exposing hundreds of millions in fraud,
and still… despite many of our best efforts, thousands and thousands of people have fallen for propaganda made for illiterate Russian peasants.
What a time to be alive.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
